Ever long for the day when you don't have to wade through a plethora of files on your computer with names such as Research paper.docx, Research paper revised.docx,
Office Pro Plus 2007, Research paper revised 2.docx,
Windows 7 Home Basic, and Research paper revised again 3.docx to find the "final" version of the document you worked on with five other contributors? With the Word 2010 coauthoring feature,
Office 2010 Standard, you don't have to track multiple versions of a document in your email and on your computer hard drive. All contributors can make changes in a single document stored on a SharePoint server or on a SkyDrive server. This video demonstrates the ease with which you can coauthor documents with other contributors on a SharePoint server. No access to a SharePoint server? Use a SkyDrive server. To get started, open a new email message using your Hotmail account, attach the document that you want contributors to edit,
Office 2007 Pro, and click the Send as online doc link. Your document is saved to a SkyDrive account where your contributors can have access to and edit the document even if they don't have Microsoft Word 2010. No more multiple document versions to clutter your computer space. And,
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007, if a single document version isn't enough to convince you of the benefits of coauthoring, maybe this fun and very clever video about the revolutionary potential for using Microsoft Office will persuade you. --Leslie <div
